I'd agree with that ckRG, except, then you're hoping the player gets tackled

I think the reason Danny and Mike like the ball into the end zone is to ensure there is no run back and not HOPE the player is tackled inside the 20

IF a kicker can kick it high and deep (end zone to the 5) it only follows that he can kick it lower and through the end zone

good news/bad news - he'll get to stay if he makes all of his FGs even if he is not great on kickoffs
he will not be here if he cannot make the deep kickoff AND he misses FGs inside the 50

P A T I E N C E - Snyder needs to just 'butt out' and give Scot time to figure out who he needs in the FO, who he needs as the HC and what players fit what he thinks is a good system for this franchise - it's a mess & it will take time

I don't really understand the touchback thing. Kicking the ball through the uprights under pressure while other guys are trying to block it - I understand why you might not make that kick every time. But shouldn't the ability to get a running start from the 35 yard line and kick the ball out of the endzone be sort of like the bare minimum requirement for an NFL kicker?

you'd think that if the guy can kick long field goals consistently AND under pressure he'd be able to kick the ball into the end zone off a tee

and yet ...

it would be great if Kai can come in here and be here for years - we have not had a good kicker since forever
